Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A connector assembly for detachably connecting a printed wiring board circuit to a coaxial connector comprising: a first socket mounted on said printed wiring board for slidably receiving the center lead of said coaxial connector, said center lead connected to a coaxial transmission line, a right angle pin extending from said first socket, a strip transmission line lead carried on the surface of said printed wiring board connected to said pin, a ground plane section on said surface of said printed wiring board, and an insulating sleeve surrounding said first socket whereby said first socket forms a transmission line section with said ground plane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A connector assembly for detachably connecting a printed wiring board circuit to a coaxial connector comprising: a first socket mounted on said printed wiring board for slidably receiving the center lead of said coaxial connector, said center lead connected to a coaxial transmission line, a right angle pin extending from said first socket, a strip transmission line lead carried on the surface of said printed wiring board connected to said pin, a ground plane section on said surface of said printed wiring board, and an insulating sleeve surrounding said first socket whereby said first socket forms a transmission line section with said ground plane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
130 words
A connector assembly for detachably connecting a printed wiring board housed in a housing to a coaxial connector, said connector assembly comprising said coaxial connector secured to one wall of said housing, an impedance matching coaxial transmission line section formed by a center conductor supported by a dielectric sleeve in an aperture formed in said housing, said printed wiring board including a first socket to slidably receive said center conductor, a right angle pin extending from said first socket, a strip transmission line lead carried on the surface of said printed wiring board connected to said header, a ground plane section on said surface of said printed wiring board, and an insulating sleeve surrounding said first socket whereby said first socket forms a transmission line section with said ground plane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
130 words
A connector assembly for detachably connecting a printed wiring board housed in a housing to a coaxial connector, said connector assembly comprising said coaxial connector secured to one wall of said housing, an impedance matching coaxial transmission line section formed by a center conductor supported by a dielectric sleeve in an aperture formed in said housing, said printed wiring board including a first socket to slidably receive said center conductor, a right angle pin extending from said first socket, a strip transmission line lead carried on the surface of said printed wiring board connected to said header, a ground plane section on said surface of said printed wiring board, and an insulating sleeve surrounding said first socket whereby said first socket forms a transmission line section with said ground plane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A connector assembly as in claim 1 including a second socket connected to said first socket and secured to said printed wiring board for preventing rotation of said first socket.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
A connector assembly as in claim 2 wherein said first socket, right angle pin, strip transmission line, ground plane section and insulating sleeve are configured to match the impedance of said coaxial connector and said coaxial transmission line section.
